Phone stage for VPI Scout 1.1

Darkstar thank you very much for the advice. I think I will go for the Sutherland plus they review very well. I can always sell it for pretty much what I paid it I'm sure if I'm not satisfied.

Eastern Electric Minimax might be a good one to check out if you're into tubes. Is switchable for MM, MC high and MC low.

The new Musical Fidelity MX-VINL has caught my eye and looks very much like a winner @ $999. I've been highly satisfied with its predecessor, the M1-ViNL, along with a VPI Scout Signature with SDS speed control and Shure M97xE with a JICO SAS stylus. Certainly tough to beat at the price.

Butch thanks for the recommendation. If my offer on a SE PH-3D doesn't get accepted I will look closer at the Minimax. I do NOT like this new Audiogon buying and selling system. Before I could get a response in a reasonable amount of time and now it can take 2 freaking days. Grrrrr :(
